If I offended anyone, it was intentional. I don't like smoking Nazis or any other reformed, meddling, feel good, urban, yuppie, new age, puss gutted piss ants. If you want to save someone's health, go pester a damned bureaucrat. They cause more health problems than any foreign substance.

Can they legally enforce that? I know they can if you're actually on their property, but if you're off the property, 24 1/2 feet away, and the wind is blowing the smoke away from the premises, I would think they wouldn't have a case.

If there's a municipal ordinance, crossing the imaginary line could lead to a fine, or jail time for numerous infractions.

If not, they can ask you to leave, which they probably won't do, but they could and they could file charges of trespassing if you didn't leave.

From my point of view, Starbucks fans would crawl through pig shit for a cup of their famous products. If you were to smoke within 25 feet of their building, the patrons would vehemently twitter, Facebook and give you dirty looks - if they didn't outright confront you - for breaking a Starbucks rule.

I, too, wondered why cigarettes are always hit with higher taxes, but not liquor. Thanks, lotta joy, for explaining that to me. That reason is probably why Minnesota, where I live, just doubled the cigarette tax to help fund a new football stadium. Now not only can I not afford a ticket for a game, I can't afford cigarettes either! Politicians have a real knack for sucking all the fun out of life, don't they!

Important Legal Stuff

I read that it's best to tell all concerned that I write my material. With that in mind, if you steal it, bad things may happen. For those that like it more legal, this is the notice of my rights of all words I've written. While my legal name isn't printed, it's recorded by my registering for this blog and the legalities of my rights are beyond question.

Another thing. I'm not an expert on anything. So, if I suggest for you to "soak your head", it's only a figure of speech, even if I wish you would.

I'm sure there are all types of other legal things I need to write, but a good attorney could determine my inability to make rational decisions during cross examination. They'd have one helluva day, though and it would cost them a lot of money.
